A Successful Student.  A Successful Person.

Many teens in our community are faced with very adult issues.  Teen pregnancy is an unsettling reality - one out of every five babies born in Rochester is born to a teen girl, twice the national average.  Nearly 40% of Rochester's youth are living in poverty, many in neighborhoods where violence and drugs are commonplace.   Yet, with support and encouragement, teens are able to focus on creating a brighter future, a new reality.

Each year, our Youth Services Program prepares hundreds of young people to lead healthy, productive and self-sustaining lives.

With a new sense of purpose and valuable life skills, the teens we serve achieve academic success and find meaningful employment.  Young mothers create stable and nurturing lives for their children.
